[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 591632, member: 14679"] Hold the box in a vice and centre the steering (turn all the one way counting the turns, half that number, turn back by that amount). Attach the input flange and output pitman arm. Place a DTI on the pitman arm to measure movement, and clamp a piece of wood to the input shaft the same length as the steering wheel radius. Find a way of measuring the movement of that, I just stuck a piece of paper underneath with a pencil on the arm. Move the end of that piece of wood and watch the dti- the amount that the end of the piece of wood moves before the DTI needle moves is half of your play. [/QUOTE]
